on the pirate code, but honor brings him back. Prudence, Duchess of Blackmoor,
has one desire—to be happy again. After struggling to overcome the horrifying
death of her husband, she accepts an earl’s offer of marriage, confident she’s
taking a step in the right direction. But demons, refuse to die, and Prudence
finds herself caught in an intricate web of deceit that threatens the very
foundations of all she holds dear. Tobias, the Duke of Blackmoor, crosses the
line when an assassination attempt on him fails. To restore the reputations of
friends under attack by the same villain, and ensure his wife’s safety, he
stages his own death, becoming The Black Regent, a notorious pirate bent on
brandishing justice, never thinking he’d survive. But to his amazement, he has,
and now the darkest-kept secrets are not worth losing the duchess his wife has
become.
Her Scandalous Wish by Collette Cameron: A marriage offer
obligated by duty . . . an acceptance compelled by desperation. Philomena

she reluctantly agrees to attend a London Season with one purpose—to acquire a
husband. Stumbling upon her hiding in a secluded garden arbor during a ball,
Bradford, Viscount Kingsley doesn’t recognize his first love, yet something
about the mysterious woman enthralls him, and he steals a passionate, moonlit
kiss. Caught in the act by Philomena’s brother, Bradford is issued an
ultimatum—a duel or marry Philomena. He offers marriage, but even impoverished
and with no other decent prospects, she rejects his half-hearted proposal until
her brother collapses. Now, Philomena’s faced with marrying a man who deserted
her once already.
Milady and Her Spy by Jillian Chantel: A lady, a spy, a traitor…
a battle of wills. Raised in the country after her mother’s death with only the
company of three unruly brothers, Lady Augusta Covington is more proficient at
fencing, riding and playing cards than being prim and proper. Myles Cuthbert, a
spy in His Majesty’s service on a mission to find and expose a traitor, crosses
paths with Lady Augusta when she rides to the aid of her brother, believing him
to be injured. With the assignment at risk, Cuthbert agrees to accept the
assistance of the troublesome lady eager for intrigue. As they move forward,
his sense of obligation to her and the danger involved stir his soul.

Head. Edith Gallagher has been charged with watching over her employer’s
